PostgreSQL PostGIS Web Hosting
What is PostGIS?
PostGIS is an open source geographic database extender for PostgreSQL. The "GIS" in its name stands for "Global Information System". PostGIS adds geographic object support to PostgreSQL databases, enabling it to provide geographic information in a spatial (or 3-dimensional) sense. While PostgreSQL itself supports certain geometric objects, it is too limited to provide graphic information system data and analysis. A website that provides a map with step-by-step driving directions is an example of where PostGIS might be useful.
